in this work, mathematical modeling of microbial(trichosporon sp.) biomass production in a stirred tankbioreactor and in an external airlift bioreactor has beeninvestigated. a model based on a tanks-in-seriesmodel without back-flow has been used to simulate theproduction of single cell protein in the external airliftbioreactor under an unsteady condition and withoutoxygen limitation, utilizing ...

recently, extracts from various parts of a. occidentale had been massively investigated in themanagement and treatment of various ailments which include but not limited to diabetes, malaria,yellow fever as well as diarrhea. stem bark of anacardium occidentale was extracted with water andethanol. antioxidant activities of the extracts were using dpph. for estimation of effectivediffusivity, math...

the effective removal of dyes from aqueous wastewaters is among the most important issues formany industrialized countries. removal of congo red (cr) dye from aqueous solutions was studiedusing nickel oxide nanoparticles. the operating variables studied were initial ph of solution,adsorbents dosage, temperature and contact time. the morphological information of nickel oxidenanoparticles were ch...

   Surfaces of synthesis cobalt disulfide has high electron density that could interact with polycyclic aromatic compounds by π-π stacking. Cobalt disulfide was synthesized with the hydrothermal method and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray. Using tetracycline as a model analyte, the batch adsorption experiments were c...

the adsorption of lead (11) and copper (11) in a fixed bed column using activated carbonprepared from nipa palm nut was investigated. thomas model and yoon and nelson kinetic models were used to analyze the column performance. the rate constant for thomas model increased with increase in flow rate and initial ion concentration but remained constant at varying bed height. adsorption capacity for...

in this work, removal of c. i. acid red 14 was investigated by pumice stone as a low cost adsorbent. various parameters such as initial dye solution, contact time and ph were studied. removal of dye were increased by increasing of contact time and initial dye solution and deceased by increasing of ph. three isotherm models were studied. linear and non-linear regression analyses were used for de...

Reaction behaviors and kinetics of catalytic oxidation of toluene with different feed flows over Pt/Zr(x)-HMS catalysts with Si/Zr ratio equal to 5, 10, 20 and 35 were investigated over a wide temperature range (200 – 500 oC). Results show that Pt/Zr(x)-HMS performs more easily toluene oxidation. The kinetic data were fitted by the Power-law and Mars–van Krevelen kinetic models. The fitting res...

this study is focused on the development of a systematic computational approach which implements genetic algorithm (ga) to find the optimal rigorous kinetic models.a general kinetic model for hydrogenolysis of dibenzothiophene (dbt) based on langmuir-hinshelwood type has been obtained from open literature. this model consists of eight continuous parameters(e.g., arrhenus  and van't hoff paramet...
